All in all, it is also a concern of the 7th GDR Youth Exhibition to demonstrate how recreational philatelic activity as a part of cultural folklore can be particularly useful in youth work in order to provide knowledge and insights for the education and training of young socialists. The organizer of the exhibition is the Philatelistenverband in the cultural association of the GDR. Since the 2nd stamp exhibition of the youth of the GDR in 1970, postage stamps for these highlights of the Jugendphilatelie have always appeared. Since the 4th exhibition in 1976 in Gera, it has become a tradition to combine history and present in the form of cityscapes and city coats of arms on two brands and an intermediate field. This tradition is continued in 1982. The additional value of 10 + 5 pfennig shows a cityscape of Schwerin around 1640, ie from the time of the Thirty Years' War. This view was created by Kaspar Merian and can be found in the "Topographies", the famous collection of European cityscapes, with which the Swiss engraving family Merian entered art history.
